It's been wild seeing how much my physical appearance impacts me.
I'm not a person who cares hugely about being on trend or being within norms. But I've found that the unique feeling of looking like ME drives me so much.
Before I'd started binding I didnt wear long sleeve shirts. (I always wear long sleeves alone because i dont like layering over long sleeves)
I always kind of figured that I just didn't like long sleeve shirts. Oh golly was I wrong. When I'm binding, im drunk on gender euphoria. I can look in the mirror and see myself, I have the physical reminder that the flesh globes are out of the way, and I feel comfortable in my body. I'd never been able to look in the mirror and see myself before, especially when wearing a single layer. Now, I love wearing one layer. I can look like me. I can feel like me. And I can show other people me as well.
I think i had the same reaction the first time i cut my hair short. It was a part of me That made it almost impossible to see me for who I really was. And then over the course of 40 minutes, it was gone! (And being sent to a better place)
is there any news on what it’s like to be a clown, like a professional clown (as an occupation), an actor/performer/ Clown man/woman/individual
because when I look up “is clown school real” and “how to be a clown” I need more like, realistic and current information than what was true in like days of yore (the 80′s) and 15 years ago (the 90′s).
I suppose this applies to America mostly? Modern Clowns in America? I don’t have ANY idea what the modern clown is up too ANYWHERE else in the world.
like a birthday party clown or a “circus” clown
cuz people are weird about clowns now, true, but also there is whimsy and bright colors.
The gates of hell are NOW OPEN

It's only Monday and it feels like it should be Friday...
A lot of big changes in my life over the past week or so have really screwed up my sense of time for some reason. I had a long end of the week last week, with a lot of decisions being made regarding how my medical education is going to continue over the next several years. I tend to struggle with things not going the way I had planned or imagined, and medical school has definitely been a big test of that. Perhaps a little background would be helpful...
I was admitted to medical just two and a half weeks before the term started and I needed to be there for orientation. While I was ecstatic to be offered a place and was not going to give the spot up, it meant that a lot of changes happened in my life in a very short time frame. Less than 24 hours after getting the call that I was in, my parents and I were in the car, headed two hours away from home to look for an apartment, talk to financial aid, and try to get things figured out. The next two weeks were spent getting things in order to move, figuring out how to get internet for my apartment, purchasing things for my apartment, spending time with my family, saying goodbye to my friends, and all of the other things that come with moving away from home and starting professional school.
In the midst of all of this, I didn't give much time to the actual school part of what I was about to do. I didn't think about how I was going to schedule my time with studying, how I was going to keep up with my school work, or just prepare in general for the rigors of medical school. So, when I arrived, bright eyed and terrified on the first day of orientation, I really had no plan of attack.
The tactic of study all the time, until I am so burned out that I need a day or two to recover and then go at it again became my life. And that worked for a while. I got through the first few exams doing fairly well, happy with my performance. But then things started to catch up to me. I got behind in one class, and then I got behind in more classes. I slowly began to realize that my study skills were not nearly as good as I thought they were. My test-taking skills were more geared toward essay questions, rather than multiple choice, after spending four years at a small liberal arts college. This all led to a bigger struggle in more and more classes. I had failed biochemistry (not really surprising because I have never been good at biochem) and was quickly headed towards being close to not passing another course. I studied my ass off for the last couple weeks of the semester and managed to just pass by the skin of my teeth. But I was exhausted from the constant feeling of always failing or not doing well enough.
Coming back from winter break a week ago, I knew that something needed to change if I am going to stand any chance of making it through medical school successfully. So, at the end of last week I made the decision to enter my school's extended academic program. That essentially means that instead of going the traditional route of two years of didactic work, followed by two years of clinical work, I will instead be spreading my first two years over three years. I will have a lighter load for the next three semesters, giving me a chance to really learn how to study and take tests, and then my second year will be just about the normal load, minus a few classes I can take next year (in the middle year). I will also have time to actually have a life and be able to relax a bit. I can take the time to really learn the material, rather than continually falling into the "cram and purge" cycle that I think a lot of medical students tend to be in. I will finish medical school in five years, rather than the traditional four. And at the end of it all... I will still be a physician.
I know that this is a ridiculously long post... and in reality it is really just for me. A chance to get my thoughts out and truly come to terms with all of these changes. But, I think it is important to get it out there that you don't have to go through med school in the traditional way. Not all of us learn the same way, so going through medical school in four years is not realistic for everyone. If you do happen to be a fellow med student or pre-med student out there reading this, and you are currently struggling or are worried about struggling, remember that you are not and will not be the only struggling. Find people around you that you are comfortable talking to and trust. Look into options for ways that you can get your medical education in a way that fits you best. Ask questions! And do what is best for you, because at the end of the day, you are still going to be a physician, no matter if it takes you four years or five.
Good luck to everyone, and feel free send any questions my way!
